BROOKLYN — Work is progressing on removing the former Brooklyn water tower, with the top cap disassembled as of Monday.

The tower's removal was delayed Dec. 17 after a worker from Toledo-based Schaedler

Enterprises fell 30 feet while inside the tower and sustained two broken arms.

The village sold the tower for scrap to Schaedler in the amount of $1,000. The 75,000-gallon tower, built in 1952, was taken offline in 2007 after the village constructed a new tower on the south side of Brooklyn.
